Yesterday we sat having Sunday lunch which is always a loud, greedy affair, I was dishing up apple crumble and said to Sammy "Would you like custard and crumble?" I didn't really expect an answer but I talk constantly to him anyway when I looked at him he was excitedly signing his Mr Tumble sign I was confused as to why he would be signing that in the middle of dinner til I realised that's what he thought I'd asked "Would you like custard and Mr Tumble?" No wonder he looked so happy.
On the other side by teatime he was a different child, like all children he went from seemingly well to being sick in a matter of moments. He really hates me holding a bowl in front of him I have the impression that he thinks it's the bowls fault, so it's a balancing act between comforting and catching sick, really there should be some qualification for being a Mum it would certainly be worth more than the surfing course I heard of that is the equivalent of two A levels!
It's amazing the lengths everyone goes to when he's poorly to help, Millie was lovely, and cheerfully made Sausage Pasta for tea and now Lottie is galloping round the lounge being a horse, neighing and letting Luke ride it's very realistic, Sammy loves it. He really does unite us in a way that's a real blessing, How good is our God!

- I'm married to Rob, we have 5 children, Tim 22 years, Lottie 16 years, Millie 11 years, Luke 7 years and Sammy 20 months. We are members of North Church Community Church and enjoy our church family. I have been involved in homeschooling since our daughter Lottie was school age although at the moment they have all gone to school when it all got a bit much juggling all the demands of Sammy. Sammy has Downs and was quite poorly in his first year having heart surgery at 14 weeks but he has more than made up for that he's a wonderful blessing and we feel very priviledged to have him in our family!
